Best local restaurant for more special dinner for two

Crooked Well & Franklins & Palmertson offer variations of bistro / gastropub dishes + excellent grog. All three are great.


ToastED is excellent but you may find portions small and the menu can be on the avant garde side. So if either party is looking for a more traditional meal, then you may be disappointed. Equally if you are both adventurous eaters, then ToastED can offer a memorable experience.


Artusi has just made the top 10 restaurants in London list at TimeOut but has a short, focussed menu.

Great if you feel like what they are serving that night... but can be risky if either of you is fussy.

The atmosphere is also very buzzy with closely placed tables - so not ideal for intimate conversations as neighbours will be an elbow's touch away...

Fourth! Amazing.

Also worth noting that Artusi are very willing to create more bespoke dishes if you have allergies or intolerances. So if there is something in a dish that you don't like i'm sure they would be very willing to arrange a dish to suit your needs.
Joanna's (in Crystal Palace - they have a private booth you may be able to book if available), The Crooked Well (if you don't mind a pub - albeit a very nice one), or Artusi. However, as mentioned above, with Artusi you can end up sitting in very close proximity to other diners, although they do have separate smaller tables for couples so might be worth requesting if/when you book.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
